Faith

Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true
(Alma 32:21).

I am a daughter of Heavenly Father, who loves me. I have faith in His eternal plan, which centers on Jesus Christ, my Savior.

Required Value Experiences

Complete the following three required value experiences. Have your parent or leader sign and date each experience after you finish.

1

The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Learn about faith from the scriptures and living prophets. Read
Hebrews 11; Alma
32:17–43; Ether 12:6–22; and Joseph Smith—History 1:11–20. Read two general conference talks on faith. Exercise your own faith by
establishing a habit of prayer in your life. Begin by regularly saying your morning and evening prayers. After three weeks of following this
pattern, discuss with a parent or leader what you have learned about faith and how daily personal prayer has strengthened your faith. In your
journal express your feelings about faith and prayer.

2

Discover the principles of faith taught by the mothers of Helaman’s stripling warriors. Read Alma 56:45–48 and 57:21. Review what “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” says about a mother’s role. With a mother, grandmother, or leader,
discuss the qualities a woman needs in order to teach children to have faith and to base their decisions on gospel truths. How can these
principles help you in your life today and help you prepare to be a faithful woman, wife, and mother? Record your thoughts and feelings in your
journal.

3

Living gospel principles requires faith. Read about faith in the Bible Dictionary or True to the Faith. Faith in the Savior Jesus
Christ leads to action. Choose a principle such as prayer, tithing, fasting, repentance, or keeping the Sabbath day holy. In your own home or
another setting, plan and present a family home evening lesson about how faith helps you live that gospel principle. If possible, ask a family
member to share an experience that has strengthened his or her faith. Share your own experiences as well. In your journal write down one of those
experiences and describe your feelings about faith.

Additional Value Experiences

Complete three additional value experiences. You may select from the following options or write up to two of your own. Your parent or leader
must approve those you write yourself before you begin. Have your parent or leader sign and date each experience after you finish.

4

Learn more about the sacrament. Read about the Last Supper in Matthew
26:26–28; Mark 14:22–24; and Luke 22:17–20. Establish a pattern of pondering during the sacrament by listening carefully to the
sacrament hymn and prayers. Think about why we partake of the bread and water. After three weeks of following this pattern, write in your journal
some of the promises you make as you partake of the sacrament and remember your baptismal covenants and what you do to keep those promises. Record
in your journal how your understanding of these promises has strengthened your faith in the Savior.

7

The Lord has commanded us to pay tithing. Read Doctrine and Covenants 119 and
Malachi 3:8–12. Since obedience to the law of tithing is an evidence of your
faith, pay a full tithe. After three months record in your journal how paying tithing has helped your faith grow. List blessings in your life,
both large and small, that have come because of your faith in the principle of tithing.

Personalized Value Experiences

After you have completed six faith value experiences, create a project that will help you practice what you have learned. This should be a
